MOVING MACHINE WITHOUT
POWER
(Refer to Fig. 7)
The integrated transmissions are equipped with a
bypass valve that allows the machine to be moved
without power by deactivating the transmission.
With the bypass valve in normal operating posi-
tion, the fl uid in the transmission will make it
diffi cult to move the unit (even with the steering
levers in neutral position). The bypass valve is
located on the front of each transmission. Be-
fore activating the bypass valve, set the park
brake. Raise the seat and activate the bypass
valve by rotating lever toward the left side of
unit. When BOTH transmissions are deactivat-
ed, the unit becomes “freewheeling”, allowing it
to be moved. Before the transmissions become
operational, the bypass valves must be returned
to their normal operating position.
Be careful activating bypass valves
when machine is on a slope. Ma-
chine could “freewheel” out of control
causing serious injury or damage to
equipment.
TRANSPORTING MACHINE
Always back machine onto trailer to
avoid accidental upset.
Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport your
machine. Trailer must have signs and lights re-
quired by law.
1. Raise mower deck to the transport (highest)
height position.
2. BACK machine onto trailer. See "LOAD-
ING MACHINE".
3. Stop the engine, engage the park brake and
remove the key.
4. Lower the mower deck to the lowest position.
5. Securely fasten machine to trailer with
heavy-duty straps, chains or cables. Both
front and rear straps must be directed down
and outward from machine.
LOADING MACHINE
Loading a machine onto a trailer or
truck increases the possibility of back-
ward-tip-over and could cause serious
injury or death.
1. Use extreme caution when operating a ma-
chine on a ramp. Move slowly.
2. Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration
when operating a machine on a ramp.
3. BACK machine up ramp and drive forward
down ramp.
4. Use only a single, full width ramp; DO NOT
use individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
5. If individual ramps must be used, BACK
machine up ramp and drive forward down
ramp.
6. DO NOT exceed a 15 degree angle between
ramp and ground or between ramp and trail-
er or truck.
